Very relaxing place to stay!

We loved our stay here. The rooms are spacious and well layed out and the same can be said for the premises. The pool is such an asset, the salty rather chlorinated water making it even more so. Being able to use the bbq is great, particularly given that it has its own space overlooking the pool with chairs and tables. Hosts are accommodating, friendly and responsive. One small improvement would be putting a bigger bin in the kitchen.

Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We enjoyed having you and your family stay with us. With regards to the bin in the kitchen, I believe that you missed it as there is a large plastic bin under the sink. We will put a sign on it to ensure it is utilised. We wish you a wonderful 2018, and if you are back up this way, we would love to see you again. Regards Bron and Grange

Pros: Beautifully clean. Lovely staff.
Location: Super close to Waitangi, Haruru Falls, and the beach at Paihia.
Had an absolutely lovely relaxing stay. Close to everything but just far enough away to feel out of the tourist trap.

A great spot.

Pros: Handy location and well run.
Cons: Perhaps double glazing on the unit nearest to the road, and more prominent signage indicating its location.
Location: Handy to Paihia and its amenities. Nice takeaways shop very handy for a quick meal.
Our host was most welcoming and helpful. It was a very relaxing stay, and it was unfortunate that we could not stay longer. Good value for money as well. We would be more than happy to return..
